Is Abortion Legal in Wyoming?

The Supreme Court in 2022 overturned Roe V. Wade, the decision that made abortion legal at the national level. This means that the legality of abortion moved back to the states and each state has its own laws about abortion pills and procedures.

As of March 2026, abortion is not legal in Wyoming when a fetal heartbeat is detectable.

Can I still get an abortion in Wyoming? Can anyone get an abortion after 6 weeks? 

Yes. However, it is now illegal for a doctor or abortion provider to prescribe the abortion pill or perform an abortion procedure in Wyoming after a heartbeat is detectable, which is typically around 6 weeks of gestation. If you are unsure how far along you are, that is very common. Contact us to learn more. After 6 weeks, abortion is legal when medically necessary to save the mother's life. The Women's Resource Center is your first step to determine your options after receiving a no-cost ultrasound.

Is ordering the abortion pill online a safe alternative?

While at-home abortions and abortion by mail have increased, there is a reason the FDA has issued warnings about ordering abortion pills online. The official warning can be found here.

Do Not Buy Mifeprex or Its Approved Generic Over the Internet

You should not buy Mifeprex or its approved generic over the Internet because you will bypass important safeguards designed to protect your health.

Mifeprex and its approved generic have special safety restrictions on how it is distributed to the public. Also, drugs purchased from foreign Internet sources are not the FDA-approved versions of the drugs, and they are not subject to FDA-regulated manufacturing controls or FDA inspection of manufacturing facilities.

An ultrasound is needed to confirm:

• If the pregnancy is viable (heartbeat detectable)

• How far along you are

• The location of the pregnancy
